Since we have currency now, we might as well get gambling underway. Little game I like to call 'what's going next?'

I'd personally set ten-one odds for the CES, twenty-one odds on the inmate showers losing hot water. But I ain't in it for a profit and the market can decide. Lay your bets, cash or trade, winners split the pot. Hours at work are worth a flat twenty.

I'm going for the long odds and saying sixty cash, and it goes straight to an inmate curfew and forcefields over the doors.

I'm aware.

And my door is always open.

Tishtosh, you've always been a perfect gentleman.

Like you'd mind if I weren't. [It's a murmur. Not offering or even teasing; just matter of fact.]

At one time, perhaps. But then I don't think you could try to get me fired for it any longer.

[Spam]

[with_my_teacup]

Is it something you need?

[Spam]

[impure_tale]

[Being deliberately obtuse.]

To be fired? I might as well be. Each time a new Inmate crosses my door they just disappear again.

Keep fishing, warden.

[impure_tale]

Speaking of fishing, have I ever told you that I actually loathe sea travel and large bodies of water?

[Spam]

[with_my_teacup]

No, but I'm kinda gathering. How're you feeling?

[Spam]

[impure_tale]

As though I'm still rocking.

[with_my_teacup]

That lasts much longer I might start getting concerned.

It was quite a bit of exercise on top of all that. Bit more than I'm used to getting with Renate, so it might take some time to recover, but worry not. [A grin.] I always pull through.

Survivors all over.

I got you while you get through this. Because I can.

[Spam]

[impure_tale]

Then we've 'got' each other. Fair enough.

Try to sleep. Might reset your inner ear.
